Several questions inline - no answers

Hello everyone,
I have some questions regarding implementing asterisk and my-sql. I'm
no expert at asterisk but I'm going to list up my questions and
hopefully someone will be able to help.
-The people that setup our server made asterisk write the sound files
onto the hard drive, and then somewhat later store these files into
my-sql. Is this the proper way to do it? Or would it make more sense
to just have my-sql store the path to the file? Or is it possible to
store the data directly into my-sql from asterisk? So in general what
is the best way to make this happen? Has anyone implemented something
similar?
-They also claim that for performance and other issues no queries
should be done on the main asterisk my-sql database, but instead we
should setup replication between two my-sql databases and queries
should be run on the slave. Is this needed and why is this needed,
because my-sql prefers insert above read actions I don't really see
why? Our current server now shows segmentation errors at boot and they
claim that this is due to queries on the database. I've also checked
the query it returns the data to us in less then 3 seconds, so I'm
doubting this can be the trouble.
How large is the PBX ?
How many users, phones, technology of phones, etc
Hardware platform for Asterisk - CPU memory,etc
-Sometimes the phone lines hang waiting, people can't call out because
asterisk seems to be holding on to these lines for a certain amount of
time. What could be the cause of this?
phone "lines" POTS analog? SIP trunks? IAX trunks?
POTS analog may not be communicating to Asterisk, or asterisk may not be
listening for any hangup signal, if it exists. What does the PSTN
provider supply?
-What is the best hardware architecture for asterisk implementation?
My-sql and asterisk on separate servers, or doesn't it really matter?
Size of installation and amount of data handled with MySQL?
I really hope to get some advice, because, I've began to
doubt/question the people who set the server up. I'm happy with any
information, good references that you can give me.
Thanks a lot in advance
